Brussels hosts a selection of film festivals, many with confusingly similar acronyms, but FIFI is easy to remember, and the Festival Internationale du Film Independent de Bruxelles offered a NZ focus this time around.
The festival screens features in international and domestic competitions and an international short film competition.
Three Kiwi features were selected in the international feature competition with two coming away with cash prizes, awarded in the currently volatile Euro. Michael Bennett’s Matariki and Jason Stutter’s Predicament flew the flag, with , Stephen Sinclair’s Russian Snark a late addition to the competition programme.
